Cozy Hotel
Occupies large plot of land

Nice facility and friendly service oriented staff. I was upgraded to a suit for my stay. My wife liked the jacuzzi in the room. But the room is full of mosquitoes. No internet connection anywhere in the facility except in the lobby.

Our stay at the hotel was very enjoyable. We used it as our base for touring around Cebu. We could come back and relax in the evenings.
Travel tip:
We walked a 1/2 block down the street a got our own taxi. It was much cheaper than the hotels service and we used the same taxi for several days. He was quite capable of showing us the local history and sights.

Friendly staff and beautiful garden
friendly staff, pool, garden and bbq buffet dinner
6
we stayed in this hotel twice while our travel around cebu. first 2 nights, our room was fairly good and clean. the room is quite big with a nice balcony overseeing the pool.
however, the staff there were very friendly and nice. the food was quite good too, especially there was a bbq dinner buffet and dance performance on the day when philippine was celebrating the holy week.
overall speaking, it seems to be a fairly cheaper resort hotel in that area with the beach close by.
Shopping Tip:
There is a shopping mall 15mins by taxi from this hotel called the Grand Mall.

Good service but old rooms
Nice breakfast and swimming pool
7.3
Our room was upgrading to a suite room with a balcony.
The room was clean and big but need upgrading a bath tab and a bed (king size). The bed mattress was saggy. Need supplying a branket (only a sheet for bed making). No Wi-Fi. No heir dryer in the room. Their private beach is very small but swimming pool was very nice and relaxing.
The change room for swimming pool was a bit smelly.
Good sellection of breakfast. Friendly staff.

Beautiful and relaxing stay with great staff
Great restaurant, massage place and swimming pool
8.3
We enjoyed this stay a lot, coz of beautiful place with really friendly staff. Restaurant and performance of restaurant staffs was perfect. There is a massage place, which is very profesional. Prices are little more expencive in compare of the other parts of Phils, but you paying for really good service overall. Swimming pool is very good. There is very poor entrance to the sea, but same is on nearby hotels.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
We visit nearby Shangri-la Hotel, which has entrance to sea, but need to pay more

this was one of the best resorts i have stayed at so far in the philippines! the access to the beach, open air dining, koi ponds and the two swimming pools made my stay there very memorable! did a private island hopping tour and pretty much had the tour guides and boat to ourselves, taking our party out to some wonderful snorkeling! afterward they made a great feast for us on a private island. very much recommend!
Nightlife Tip:
There isn't much to do on Mactan island after 10 pm. If looking for nightlife, go into the city of Cebu .
